The only problem is this.
Since this is a civil case, the only one who could request a 'jury trial' would have been Michael since he been appointed Terri's guardian.
Not something he would likely have done.
I'm not so sure Michael is truely the only one who could request a jury. It's hard to say since the ruling in the case of Sparf vs US (156 US 51) determined that we need not be told of our rights.
It's probably too late for Terri but we had better get a grip on our courts fast. Attorneys have as much to gain as judges by keeping us in the dark. http://www.caught.net/juror.htm
